Lazarsfeld-Mukai Bundles on K3 Surfaces Associated with a Pencil Computing the Clifford Index

Abstract

Let X be a smooth projective K3 surface over the complex numbers and let C be an ample curve on X. In this paper we will study the semistability of the Lazarsfeld-Mukai bundle EC,A associated to a line bundle A on C such that |A| is a pencil on C and computes the Clifford index of C. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for EC,A to be semistable.
